What We Collect
When you use Kaho, we process:
- Audio recordings — sent to our servers for transcription. Audio is processed in real-time and not stored after the transcription is returned.
- Screen context — the name and title of the app you're dictating into (e.g., "Slack — #general"). No screenshots, no screen content, no pixels. Used to adapt formatting tone.
- Email address — provided when you receive an invite. Used only for account identification.
What We Don't Collect
- We do not store your audio recordings
- We do not read your screen content or take screenshots
- We do not access your files, documents, or browsing history
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties
- We do not use your transcriptions for AI training
How We Process
Audio is sent securely (TLS) to our API server, which forwards it to a third-party speech-to-text service for transcription. The transcript is then cleaned up by an AI language model. Both services process data in real-time and do not retain it.
Data Storage
Your transcription history and dictionary are stored locally on your Mac in an encrypted SQLite database. We do not have access to your local data.
Permissions
- Microphone — to capture your voice for transcription
- Accessibility — for the global hotkey to work system-wide and to detect which app you're using
